of the 9th district, who, by "ways that were dark,
got lost in the late Democratic convention, having
announced himself as a candidate for Register Of

Fullerton, 18th District.-It has been some
months since have written anything for THE

news being my only excuse if that can be con-
sidered one.
Our little village is constantly improving and
several new buildings have gone up thepast sum
mer Mr.. Charles Lassahn, who bought portion
of the Fuller property, is erecting fine residence,
which will be completed about November LIST.
Our market gardeners have had an unusually
good season, their produce having brought better
prices than for many years. Large quantities of
lima beans are grown in this section and they are
now bringing S. so per bushel-doube the price
of last season. The pickle crop has been good and
they have been selling at $1.50 per thousand
Tomatoes have been in good demand and the
corn crop turned out satisfactorily.
am sorry to have to report that great deal
of work is done in this neighborhood on Sundays,
such as gathering marketing, cutting pickles,
picking tomatoes, &c. Some pull weeds all day
Sunday, while some make practice Of hitching
up their teams and haul produce from the fields,
apparently having no respect for the laws of God
or man. Often keg of beer is procured and a
crowd will collect and do the work and drink the
beer, making sort of frolic out of it. Is there
no law against such proceedings Some contend
that there is not.

Politics is the leading topic of conversation just
now. 1t is plain that there is a great deal of dis
satisfaction among Democrats and many of them
openly declare that they will vote the Republican
ticket The Prohibitionists are working earn

place, was laid on Sunday last, and on account of
the rain the ceremonies were held in Hiss M. E.

was greatly enjoyed, there being ample provision
for all. Had the weather been good the attend
